The City of Toronto currently delivers three public art programs：the Public Art & Monuments Collection，the Percent for Public Art Program and StreetARToronto (StART)．The programs have had a transformative effect on the city’s vitality，gathering a collection of public art that is of international significance.
Public Art & Monuments Collection
The City commissions(委托制作) and accepts donations of high-quality public art works and monuments that are relevant to their prospective community，and enrich the urban experience of Toronto’s residents and visitors.These City-owned works of public art and historical monuments enhance public spaces all over Toronto.
Percent for Public Art Program
The governing principle for the Percent for Public Art Program is that art is a public benefit to be enjoyed and experienced by residents and visitors through the city.The privately-owned art is intended to make building and open spares more attractive and interesting and to improve the quality of the public spaces.The Program requires that the artwork must be clearly visible at all times from publicly accessible areas.
StreetARToronto
StreetARToronto (StART) is a series of programs designed specifically for streets and public spaces.Launched in 2012 as part of the City’s Graffiti(涂鸦) Management Plan，StART has been successful in reducing graffiti vandalism and replacing it with colourful，community-engaged street art.
StART programs encourage active transportation (walking and cycling)，make out streets more beautiful and safer，showcase local artists and more.

It is 6：00 am on the first day of the school year.In Cherrybrook Technology High School，mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.
One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom.This technology is Mr Woo’s core tool of the trade.“I’m Mr Woo.I record my lessons.I record all of them.In fact，I’m about to record this one，” he explains to his new maths class.
The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed.Mr Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia—a maths teacher by day and an Internet sensation(轰动) by night.
He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school.Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr Woo’s videos on his free YouTube channel and website，so he started sharing them across the country and beyond.Wootube now boasts more than 38,000 subscribers(用户) and has attracted almost 4 million viewers worldwide.
Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia，and making maths popular again.“He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it，” Mr Johnson said.
12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr Woo’s teaching style made maths irresistible.“I don’t want to say it，but he sucked me into maths，” she said.Owen Potter，who attends high school in Cobar，agreed.“It’s difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country，” he said.
Mr Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement，and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.

For the many eager readers who hope to find some solutions to life’s questions through reading，a newly-published Chinese-English bilingual(双语的) version of How Will You Measure Your Life？by Clayton Christensen，a professor at Harvard Business School in the United States，might provide a few answers.It has been released as part of a series of books，entitled Harvard Business Review Classics.
In How Will You Measure Your Life？，the book’s author raises three questions：How can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career? How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse(配偶) and my family become lasting source of happiness? How can I be sure that I’ll stay out of prison?
He then provides his understanding and thoughts into them by using lessons from some of the world’s greatest businesses.
Christensen’s ideas have inspired a large number of people around the globe.Roan Kang，general manager of marketing and operations of Microsoft’s Greater China Region，is one of them.He was lucky to have met the author himself when Christensen delivered speech to Kang’s company a few years ago.
“I agree with Christensen’s point that too many people use material wealth or social status as ways to measure success，while in reality，it is doing purposeful work that helps others and improves society that is truly meaningful，” Kang says，adding that he hopes the book will inspire more young people.
Kang,45，also supports Christensen’s idea that “your time is the most precious of resources”，which he says，is something he learned firsthand while working with Bill Gates.
“After you’ve figured out what your top priorities (优先级) are in life and in your work，you have to be strict with yourself and make sure you constantly put your time into those priorities.”

If you’re in a job performing dull tasks，you might think that a robot could do the work instead.But perhaps we underestimate(低估)how much technology already helps with the activities that we would otherwise have to do.And as artificial intelligence progresses，we may find it replaces us in the workplace altogether.
For now，robotic technology is providing a helping hand for businesses，particularly in manufacturing(制造业)，assisting humans in performing work more efficiently and sometimes more accurately.For online shopping，for example，robots have become vital in giant warehouses.They sort and move millions of objects of all different shapes and sizes，although humans are still needed to pick and distribute the goods.
The advancement of robotics in the workplace is good for some businesses; the ones who research，develop，build and use them.The British government estimates that by 2035，artificial intelligence could add around ￡ 630 bn to the UK economy.But there are still tasks that robots can’t yet do，and that’s the challenge for companies such as Automata.Its co-founder，Suryansh Chandra，told the BBC that his technology will do its best to eliminate boring，repetitive jobs that humans don’t like and aren’t very good at，and also create new ones that are likely to replace them.
It seems certain that robots will eventually be able to do more and more of the jobs that are currently performed by humans，so should we be worried by the rise of the machines? Some experts fear hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear as robots replace human workers.A recent report suggests that 14 percent of jobs are “at high risk of automation” and 32 percent of jobs could be “basically transformed”，with the manufacturing sector at the highest risk.
But as complete automation is some way off，for now we’ll have to work side-by-side with our robot colleagues—and manage to go hand in hand with them before they learn to kick us out of the door!

15．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A．Watch out for robots.
B．Get along with robots.
C．Mind our own business.
D．Learn to kick robots out.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，但是完全的自动化还有一段路要走，现在我们必须和我们的机器人同事并肩工作，并且在它们学会把我们赶出家门之前设法和它们携手合作！由此可推知，作者在最后一段建议我们与机器人和睦相处。故选B。
